Cru Global, Inc., originally known as Campus Crusade for Christ in the U.S., originated from an impactful vision received by Bill Bright while preparing for a Greek exam at Fuller Theological Seminary. Recognizing the potential of college campuses to reach students on a global scale, Cru has expanded its outreach far beyond its inception at UCLA in 1951. Notably, Dr. Joon Gon Kim established the movement in South Korea, transforming it from a recipient nation into a key missionary sender country with staff serving across international boundaries.
Cru's headquarters were historically anchored by the Arrowhead Springs resort in San Bernardino, CA, providing a significant base for operations over three decades until relocating to Orlando, FL. Central to its mission is leveraging contemporary cultural mediums, such as music and video technology, evidenced during the era of artists like The Beatles and Bob Dylan through Cru's own life-changing music group, The New Folk.
The organization launched strategic initiatives including "New Life 2000®" to unify Crusade ministries globally with a vision to lead one billion people to Christ. Collaborative efforts such as The CoMission highlighted the focus on spiritual engagement in historically resistant areas like the former Soviet Union post-Communism.
